Job announcements relevant to people interested in electronic structure calculations…
Due to the large number of posts recently, there is currently a delay of several weeks between posts being submitted and the corresponding emails being distributed to all users. Please bear with us while we try to improve this. In the meantime – and until this notice is removed – it would assist us considerably if you could submit only important and/or urgent posts and thus help to reduce the size of the mail queue. Under no circumstances should you resend posts multiple times when you find the emails are not distributed immediately.
In light of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine, we request that announcements relating to events, jobs and other activities associated with institutions supported by the Russian and Belarusian states are not posted to the Psi-k forum.

Result of competition: 15-10- 2023
Expected start: As soon as possible
Scholarship duration: 39 months
Project Description
This research will focus on the foundation of the molecular biomechanics of the SARS-CoV-2. Here we plan to investigate the spike (S) protein and its interaction with the human angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (hACE2) receptor and neutralising antibodies (Ab) responsible for the immune evasion. This work will employ state-of-the-art coarse-grained models of proteins and single-molecule force spectroscopy (SMFS) data for the improvement of the computational model. The selected person will participate in ongoing research in the field of the nanomechanics of proteins as well as in the development of new physical-based strategies to inhibit the virus-cell interaction.
